Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Philip

@@JaimeSaenz-e7t Thank you, pleased you liked it

Many thanks!

Was that a short line too? I never realised before posting this video just how many hospital railways there were! Thanks for watching.

I read that it was demolished in the 1970s. Thanks for watching.

Glad you enjoyed it

Many thanks!

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

Thank you, pleased you enjoyed it, and thanks for comment re voice over.

Thank you

Thanks Philip, pleased you liked it.

Thankfully you didn't watch the rest of it, I dread to think how discourteous your comment may have been. As I have said in other replies I have taken note of peoples views.

Are you the Mayor of Gobshiteshire, Gunroom?

At least you made this, and posted it, or else I (& probably loads of others) would have never heard of this railway. Thank you. ​@@railwayscene

​@@martinsims1273thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it and thank you for your comment. Very much appreciated.

Hello and thanks for watching. The trackbed is still there in places and in fact, a very small section of track is still visible and in situ. The 25" maps in the Scottish National library are excellent, even showing a passing loop east of Whittingham Station

@@railwayscene That's interesting about some of the old track still in situ. When I first saw the map my first thought it might have been there for WW1 soldiers wounded as railway coaches where converted to carry the wounded soldiers.

@@itsonlyme9938 They did take in military and POWs. In fact in the asylums church graveyard there is a small area for them. I can remember seeing the grave off an Italian. The section of track is only about 4 yards long, if that.

Many thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks - good views both ways from this bridge.

Personally I think you'd be eligible for a one way free ticket. It's their duty :-)

@nige7577 Thank you, comment much appreciated.

Thank you Steve, much appreciate your comment

Thanks, hard to beat an A1 marking, depending which font you use ;-)

Thank you, comment appreciated

Yes there is a Sentinel at Ribble Steam but it is a different engine. All the Sentinels were odd looking

Thanks for watching. All these little railways will have interesting tales to be told probably

Pleased you enjoyed it - thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching - much appreciated.

Thanks for watching. It must be remembered that the line was built primarily for goods/freight for the hospital. Passenger coaches (if you can call them that), were purchased a little later. Most passengers were staff and locals, though of course some would be one way new residents.

@railwayscene Thanks and yes, noted. But other similar hospitals had similar beginnings and without exception, that I know of, always introduced a fares system of some sort, some admittedly much subsidised, for staff, patients and certainly visitors. I think it was just the friendly nature of the Lancastrians that was prevalent here, but being one, maybe I'm a bit biased. I'm not sure it would have happened in a neighbouring county where they are renowned for being maybe a bit more "careful " with their finances. Lol.

As a Lancastrian too, I fully understand LOL

@@railwayscene I'm sure you do. Lol.

I believe they were involved, especially in hobbies like gardening, were there was beautiful gardens to maintain, an orchard with many varieties of apples (still there). There were greenhouses, sports fields eg cricket, bowls, tennis, putting etc. Thanks for watching

It was going north, seen here at Charnock Richard, Lancs

@@railwayscene ah, I see

I agree - it's the first time I have used it. And, like you thought it was good till wheel arrangements were spoken. Thanks for watching, appreciated.

There certainly was. Infact this railway was featured in one, an article by a Mr Casserley.

They did and sadly ended up on wooden batons near the shed. There is a rumour that one engine was buried on the site. There is a tip down the side of the station yard where plenty has been dumped.

@@railwayscene There are lots of strange rumours about buried locos. The only genuine ones that are documented as such were a bunch of either class 26/27 that were wrapped and buried due to asbestos.

So true. And more freight should be on the railways today. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. Comment noted, I'll buy a mic. AI converts from text to speech.

@@railwaysceneso do your eyes, brain and mouth! 😂 with the greatest respect, I agree that the AI narrator ruins this otherwise fantastic video. However, I also can understand the usefulness in reducing the time for editing.👍

I thought it was fine to be honest. Certainly didn’t ruin for me

@Akhunslet Thanks for comment. Like I have previously stated it was my first time using it and I have noted the comments

@@railwayscene I rather have subtitles than AI speech if you do not feel confident to do a voiceover. AI sounds awful

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. Much appreciated

Sadly passenger trains had stopped running to Longridge in the 1930s. Thanks you, glad you liked it

Noted

​@@railwayscene fwiw I'm completely fine with the voiceover

www.youtube.com/@jamfjord/ Thank you - I know it isn't perfect but I have heard much worse. However I have taken note of the comments

AI is the future, it's already doing the thinking for us

The use of AI voice was a trial. But you may well prefer it to my voice 😀. Pleased you found it interesting

@@railwayscene No please stay human! The number of people I talk to who first get distracted and then turned off by AI. It adds nowt and takes away your character - surely part of the project? Well done anyway, Ill take a ride out there soon.

@@ragarse3 OK I will give it try on a later video.

Many Thanks. I did a lot of searching for the photo's. I even learned just two days before posting that the passenger carriages were green. I'd assumed they would be red or brown.

@MrTomatoAloo I was planning to write almost exactly this comment but you beat me to it. Fascinating video

@jamfjord Thank you- very much appreciated

The engine shed was at Whittingham, and maybe nurses and hospital staff were starting shifts. From then on they would have to use buses to Longridge or Preston. Though in 1957 passenger numbers would have been low. Thanks for watching - i hope you enjoyed it.

Maybe they're still there...?

Thank you, appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Thanks, appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks

Glad you liked the video. I have to admit I don't recall seeing many in my neck of the woods.
